Johnny walked by the sign on the place, shaking his head a little. It was a school. A school for the gifted. Johnny rolled his eyes. Logan had thought he was a mutant. It was a good assumption, besides, he sort of was one anyways, just not the way these people were.

It was strange, thinking of a world where people were born like that, and from what he had seen in the city not too loved for it. Well, it was more than weird thinking that he was in a different world in the first place. He really thought he should be commended for not freaking the hell out.

'Are you going to come inside, Mr. Storm? Or continue standing there, staring at the door?'

Johnny jumped at the voice in his head and looked around. He scowled a little. There was no one there, but it wasn't hard to figure that one out.

"You want me to freak out?" He asked the door quietly. There was a silent chuckle at that.

'The door is open.'

"What the hell?" Johnny pushed the door open and walked into the front room. A TV was playing to the side and there were a few kids sitting on the couch. Johnny shook his head again and started down the hallway.

Johnny stepped into the only open doorway. There was an older man there, sitting in a wheelchair. He smiled a little at Johnny and gestured to the chair across from his desk.

"So," Johnny started, dropping down in the chair, "that how you greet everyone who comes to this place?"

"I'm afraid you will have to get used to the unusual here, Mr. Storm. You are not the only one with different abilities."

"Yeah, but until today I was only one of four."

"My name is Professor Charles Xavier." The man introduced, smiling slightly. "You are taking all of this exceptionally well, I must say."

"Johnny Storm." He gave his own half smile. "But I'm guessing you already knew that. And," he shrugged, "what am I supposed to do? Freak out? Panic? I don't do panic."

"I see that." Johnny got up and walked around the room a little.

"One of your buddies sent me here. Said you could help. Course, at the time I don't think he knew my problem."

"Your problem." Xavier nodded.

"Yeah, so you think you could find a way to send me back?"

"Maybe. I will need to know what happened just before." Johnny nodded, and relayed everything that he remembered. He was actually starting to feel a little anxious now that he was sitting still and talking to someone who might be able to help him. He my not do panic but he was sure that Sue might be.

"Supernova?" Xavier repeated when Johnny finished. "Your power goes that high?"

"Yeah. Reed said it wasn't exactly a good thing before, though."

"I must say that this power of yours is unique. We do have a student here who can control a flame, but not create it."

"Yeah, that's great."

"Would you allow us to test your power?"

"No, thanks." Johnny made a face. "Been there with Reed, man. For weeks after we got back from space."

"We will need to test it too find out a way to get you back."

"What's the use without Victor here, though?" Though, Johnny was beginning to wonder if Victor was there or not. If he were, though, then why didn't he end up in the same place Johnny had?

"I think maybe he is here." Johnny opened his mouth to respond but was interrupted by a knock on the door. A young man who looked around the same age as Johnny walked in with a pair of red sunglasses on.

"Nice shades." Johnny grinned at the guy and waved a little.

"Johnny Storm, this is Scott Summers. He is one of the teachers here at our school." Xavier turned to Johnny again. "We can begin the tests tomorrow if you wish. It is late."

"Late?" Johnny stared. "It's not even ten." Getting up, he walked over to Scott and slung one arm around his shoulders. "Come on. I really need a drink and I have no money." He dragged a protesting Scott from the room. If he wasn't going to be able to get back home tonight, he might as well occupy himself.

Logan sat on the couch, not really watching the TV in front of him. He had gotten back to the school around ten thirty, and the professor had informed him that the kid that he had found had come here. And that the kid had apparently convinced Scott to go out drinking with him. That was surprising.

Logan hadn't really been able to sleep himself. Seeing that place, even though he didn't find anything useful was enough to bring back the nightmares with a vengeance. Sighing, Logan got up and wondered into the kitchen to find something to drink only to find someone already in there.

"Hey, man." Johnny said, grinning at him. "You're back."

"Yeah." Logan grabbed a coke and sat across from him. "See you got yourself a new outfit." Johnny's grin turned into a smirk as he looked down at the jeans and tee-shirt that Scott had lent him.

"Yeah, why? You miss the uniform?" Logan smiled a little at the insinuation.

"Maybe I do." He said, looking Johnny over. Johnny leaned forward, his smirk growing.

"Well, it is in my room." The look in Johnny's eyes, though half joking, held an offer as well, and Logan actually considered it for a moment.

"Heard you and Cyclops bonded." Johnny leaned back and shrugged.

"He's alright." His smile came back at the look on Logan's face. "He's not too fond of you, though."

"Yeah, well. The feelin' is mutual." Johnny nodded, bouncing his leg.

"Yeah. Look, are we going back to your room or not?" Logan raised an eyebrow and Johnny rolled his eyes. "Look, I don't know if that Xavier guy told you but I'm not from around here. Not looking for a relationship. You're hot; I see the way you look at me..."

"Well, when you put it like that..."

"Don't get so touchy." Johnny grinned again. "You're starting to sound like Scott." Logan's eyes narrowed at that, and Johnny's grin widened. "You know, he's not such a bad guy."

"Talkin' about Scott really isn't going to convince me, kid." Johnny simply rolled his eyes again, standing up. Logan had to admit the kid looked good. The white tee-shirt he was wearing was a bit too tight as Scott was smaller than him.

"This would work a lot better if you stopped talking and showed me your room."

Johnny had not been able to sleep after coming back from the bar. He had been feeling extremely restless now, aware that he had been here for hours and that Sue was probably freaking out.

He didn't want to do that to her. She had practically raised him and as a result she was a little bit on the protective side. He knew for a fact she was more than likely not sleeping and he couldn't sleep.

He wasn't exactly worried about her well being, at least physically. Victor was more than likely here, in this world. Plus, Reed and Ben would never let anything happen to her. Still, he didn't like being in a place that made it impossible to even talk to her.

He had gone out with Scott in an effort to take his mind off it. It had worked for a time. Scott was an okay guy. He still wasn't able to sleep and then he had found Logan in the kitchen.

Okay, so the guy was attractive, which was saying something. Johnny usually didn't go for guys. Every once and a while but mostly he proffered girls. There was something about Logan, though, and he could see the way Logan looked at him.

From what he had heard from Scott, he was pretty sure that Logan was into this Jean chick, who was Scott's fiancé apparently. Probably why they both hated each other so much. He figured they could both use a...release.

"I think Johnny's alive." Sue's head snapped up and she looked over at Reed.

"What?"

"Johnny's alive. At least I'm pretty sure. I mean, it's strange. I'm not sure where he is but-"

"Reed, could you just please tell me what you found?"

"I did study the area where Johnny disappeared. There's some strange energy there. Something like I've never seen before." He turned to Sue. "I think maybe they didn't just disappear. I think the combination of the power centered there, yours, Johnny's, Victors. I think it maybe transported them somewhere." Sue had a moment of relief before everything that Reed said hit her.

"Wait, them? Are you saying that wherever Johnny is, Victor's there too?"

"Maybe." Reed said reluctantly.

"Can you get us there?" Sue asked nervously. Even if Johnny was okay, if he was stuck somewhere with Victor he might not stay that way.

"I'll try."

Victor sat in the small apartment he had 'rented'. He had found out a few things about the world he was in now. He had a good idea of what had happened and he wasn't sure now whether or not he wanted back to his world or not.

Either way, he did know one thing. The boy was here as well, without his little family too. A small smile came to Victor's lips. Johnny was on the top of the list after what had happened. Besides, he would need Johnny if he wanted to get back.
